Casa Migliaca |
|
Casa Migliaca lies close to the north coast of Sicily a few kilometres away from Cefalù, between the Nebrodi Mountains and Madonie mountains. The house stays on a hill overlooking the sea on a side of river Tusa's valley. It has been built in the XVII century and has always belonged to the same family. Originally it was an oil mill, then in the XIX century has been transformed in a residential country house.
During the early nineties has been adapted with accommodation facilities and today is a farm hotel managed by the descendants of the old owners. hospitality is simple but convivial, dinner is taken all together around the huge round table, once the base of the mill used to squeeze olives.
Eight rooms are available; those on the first floor of the house have ancient furniture, fireplace and wrought iron beds. The windows, overlooking the countryside, are veiled by frame embroidered hemp and linen curtains. The rooms on the ground level maintain the original traits of the oil mill service rooms. The silted jar, the small palmento and the chestnut mezzanine that are in some rooms are witness of the old functions.
All the rooms are large and, respectful of the original architecture and volumes, bathrooms are essential, small but functional.
